What about a 1 point per pilot VC point but have a modifier, e.g. Ship Movement cost.

So Soreyes in his DF would be 1 x 0.33, but in a MCC it would be 1 x 0.67.


Would that work?

I can barely add and subtract.   Fractions are out of the question.

Isn't the K-D5D "technically" considered a line ship?  ;)

I like the new suggestion as well.  Go with that.

Haha, ya it is THE line ship for the klinks.

Clearly not if you read up on it, it is a bombardment ship.  The closest to that would be the K7D which was an experimental ship intended to become a line design.

Uhh, Jeff, they don't understand how the D5D is the klinks line ship... hahaha

If you are only seeing Klingons in D5Ds it is because we are already bombarding your worlds having brushed aside your defenses with line ships.

This additional rule certainly takes care of Dizzy's point about 0 PvP pts against "gang hunters".  It stil leaves the loophole for the sold pilot to kamikaze his ship to get the smaller kill disengagement penalty.  I guess that is another discussion since no one even addressesd my idea earlier about that on the other thread.  I'll try to put up a thread about that soon.


I know we might actually have people flying solo again!   God forbid people do that!

Bite me!  You know exactly what I mean.   (but I knew you would respond like that)

Most missions on the server are flown solo, it's only in the conflict zones that the tactical "killer groups" are assembled.  I wasn't complaining about your rule addition, but just pointing out the loophole you were leaving.  I do understand that the disengagement rule is another whole another area of discussions which always prove interesting.   :(

The loophole is intentional

How about any ship lost in PvP is worth its movement cost in VPs? 

Or:

 any ship is worth its build cost.  Add 'em all up and divide by 10,000 to convert to Server "VPs".

KISS.
